Celebrate Lucille Ball's birthday with 'I Love Lucy' in theaters

Friday

Happy birthday, Lucille Ball! To celebrate what would have been her 108th birthday, Fathom Events and CBS Home Entertainment are bringing her beloved sitcom "I Love Lucy" to theaters for one night.

On Aug. 6, theaters across the country will show five colorized episodes and a featurette titled "Redhead Tales, Colorizing I Love Lucy" about the process of coloring the show.

"Almost everyone has seen and been captivated by 'I Love Lucy' – but even the biggest Lucy fan has rarely had an experience like this: Seeing Lucy on the big screen and laughing alongside fellow fans in a movie theater," said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt in a statement.

The five colorized episodes shown include “The Million Dollar Idea,” “Lucy Does a TV Commercial,” (the notorious Vitameatavegemin episode) “Pioneer Women,” “L.A. At Last!” and “Job Switching."

Tickets are on sale now on the Fathom Events website.
